XXX v. Court of Appeals · G.R. 261459

Petitioner: XXX
Respondent: Court of Appeals
Citation: G.R. No. 261459
Court: Supreme Court
Division: Third Division
Ponente: Inting, J.
Decided: May 20, 2024

Summary

XXX was convicted of economic abuse under RA 9262 for depriving his wife AAA and child BBB of financial support. The RTC ordered monthly support of PHP 15,000. When XXX appealed, AAA sought execution pending appeal of the support order. The CA partially granted this, allowing execution of future support but not support in arrears. XXX challenged this via certiorari. The Supreme Court dismissed the petition, clarifying that support orders in RA 9262 cases are immediately executory under Rule 39, Section 4 as they are akin to protection orders under the specialized rules. The CA's partial grant was proper and did not constitute grave abuse of discretion. The decision establishes that support awards in violence against women cases are immediately enforceable pending appeal without requiring special justification.
